CVC GE: Sony FCB cameras with GigE Vision interface

The CVC GE-family, exclusively available from STEMMER IMAGING, includes a Sony
FCB-EX E-series camera equipped with an FGI GigE Vision-compliant interface
board and the CVB CameraSuite software development kit.

Outstanding performance from HAD CCD

Sony FCB-EX E-series colour block cameras offer outstanding performance,
including true progressive scan from an HAD CCD image sensor. The camera range
features zoom lenses from an industry-leading 36x down to 28x or 18x, combined
with 12x digital zoom to bring enhanced versatility.

With enhanced image stabilisation, white balance, wide D functionalities,
motorised iris and a minimum illumination figure down to 0.25 Lux, these
cameras offer exceptional picture clarity in wide-ranging illumination
conditions for a host of applications from security and surveillance to
-industrial vision.

Benefits of GigE Vision thanks to FGI interface board

The FGI interface board, developed by STEMMER IMAGING, brings all the well-
established benefits of GigE Vision to this versatile camera range, including
the ability to transmit images up to 100m over industry-standard Ethernet
cables.

By taking full advantage of the progressive scan image sensor, the camera
effectively doubles the image resolution compared to earlier interlaced
versions of the cameras. Full control of the camera is possible through the
GigE Vision and GenICam-compliant interface.

CVB CameraSuite included

The powerful, hardware-independent CVB CameraSuite that is delivered together with the cameras, is a fully featured, easy-to-install SDK.
It includes everything needed to develop users' own vision applications
quickly and easily and features sample applications as well as the SDK. It
enables the user to take full advantage of the performance and -reliability of
the GigE Vision technology in combination with Sony's FCB-EX E cameras.
